When Common Sense Is Not So Common (1)

如果要我寫生活上遇到non-sense的人和事, 我大概可以寫5000個blog posts.

尤其是開了mimingmart之後, 要跟不同範疇的人/公司/supplier/vendor/creative合作, 更深深體會到 Common sense is actually not that common.

Let's take for example, 今天我如常回到銅鑼灣mimingmart, 桌面有信, 有

Type A Person

距離開新鋪大概還有3個星期.

開鋪雖然是一件可喜可賀的事, 但對於一個type A的人來說, 卻是災難.


Symptoms of Type A Behavior*
  1. Time urgency and impatience, which causes irritation and exasperation.
  2. Free floating hostility, which can be triggered by even minor incidents.
  3. Competitive, this made them oriented towards achievement which caused them to become stressed due to wanting to be the best at whatever it may

Following

剛剛看了 Christopher Nolan 的第一套片子《Following》,很好看。我喜歡這類既小又精的作品。在片中你可以看到 Nolan 的「trademark」:運用拼貼手法,交替不同場面,留下蜘絲馬跡,引起重重懸念。其實手法上會令我想起蒲澤直樹,但電影的節奏當然快得


看漏眼

梁文道近日可謂倒霉,先有陸離 一篇文章 指出他行文不小心之處,並在網上廣為流傳;接著方舟子的網誌登了 一篇 更不客氣的,批評他「跨界充內行,強不知以為知… 根本就是揣著糊塗裝明白」。梁文道先不回應陸離,卻寫了篇

What OpenSolaris's death probably means for us

For those of you who haven't heard, OpenSolaris is dead; see theleaked internal memo for details (via here , here , here ,or even Slashdot ).In a way, I can't say that I'm too surprised, but I am rather unhappy.

We don't run OpenSolaris in production so in one sense we aren'tdirectly affected. But there are at least two areas where this islikely to hurt us, possibly quite badly. The big one is what is


悟出奧義

讀得太多小說和漫畫,所以相信,基本就是奧義。正如老遊戲「金庸群俠傳」裏頭,最基本的功夫野球拳練到最後,就是最強的攻擊技,恰當地表達出一種武術思想,正拳是最強技,紮馬是最強技,籃球最強的不是fade away,足球最

愛與妒忌


我個人極度喜歡旁觀他人的妒忌行為,通常妒忌他人者會努力掩飾自己的妒忌,但這種事可以騙自己卻騙不了別人,有時一個眼神,一句說話,甚至一個反應,都少不免會露出馬腳,盡皆可笑。因此,冷眼旁觀的確可以警惕自己

珍珠

From for blog


它,不過是一隻很普通的淡粉紅珍珠耳環,從小店買回來,本來,是一雙的。

不喜鑽石的耀目,不喜玉石的冰冷,就是喜歡它的溫柔。

兩年來,這點點顏色照亮了我的臉頰,伴我工作遊遍世界。

然後,今天,其中一隻從耳

自殺還是謀殺?

阿祖生意失敗,負債纍纍,決定自殺,一大清早便在自己最愛喝的十八年陳Glenlivet裏放了毒藥,以示必死的決心,待處理了一切死前要交帶的事情後,晚上回家一邊喝毒酒,一邊聽Bruckner第八交響曲,悲壯而高雅地離開人世。

Why I change font sizes

A commentator on my recent entry on how programs should make it easyto change the font size asked me toexplain why I'd do this and said that they didn't even change the fontsize in Firefox, which boggles me quite a lot. When I boil it downenough, there are two reasons.

The first reason is the reason that I keep changing font sizesin Firefox: because (web) designers are crazily in love with not merely small font sizes, but absurdlysmall font sizes. I
